‘She’s not coming back,’ I think to myself as I look at the time on my phone again. It’s past nine pm and the feeling of unease grows. I try not to worry about the fact that she may be hurt of even dead, but it proves impossible. After pacing for hours, I retreat to my bed and fall back against the pillows, wearing the satin robe and lingerie I bought earlier today while Jeff thought I was sick in bed. All for her, just in case she decided to come back.

It had given me a little hope; the shopping, preparing for our night ahead, wanting to be ready for when she knocked on my door. How did I become so desperate? How did I get so sucked up in her that nothing else seems to matter? Who am I? Have I lost myself or is this the real me? My emotions are all over the place and I wonder how I went through life feeling so numb for all those years. Was I happier last week, when I was comfortable, and everything was predictable and in order? Or was I simply existing, letting one day after another pass me by without feeling a thing? I’ve had happy moments, sure. The occasional party, times with my family or friends when we celebrated birthdays, holidays… but I have trouble coming up with anything memorable. One thing is certain though; I’ve had very few unhappy ones. There was little sadness in my life, and I don’t remember the last time I cried, apart from this morning, over her.

Once again, I tell myself this is not me, but by now I know I’m only fooling myself. Still, despite worrying about her to the point that I’m almost losing the plot, I wouldn’t have missed those nights for the world because they changed everything. In a good way or a bad way is still to be determined. My hope is declining with every second that passes, and those seconds have never gone by so slow. It’s like I’m in a different dimension, where everything happens at a snail’s pace and my brain is fogged by confusion as I’m desperately trying to hold onto something that’s gone.

I turn on the news, looking for clues. I know that’s wishful thinking because she doesn’t seem like a person who would do something so bold and public that it would reach national television. As far as I can tell there has been a gang murder in New York, a serious traffic accident on the I-78 Interstate Highway, and a fire at a high school. Apart from that, the other news topics are either out of state or international. I jump up when there’s a knock on my door and my pulse starts racing like a freight train. The disappointment on my face could not be more obvious when I open up to find Jeff in the corridor.

“Oh, hey,” I say with little enthusiasm.

“Hey.” His cheeks turn bright red as he glances down at my cleavage for a split second, then redirects his gaze to meet my eyes again.
